An AB/DL Blog (among Other Things)

It’s almost the end of PRIDE MONTH, and we wanted to go out with a bang! On this episode of Love In Brief, the entire LIB hosting crew and three of our guests from previous episodes join forces to form one big proud LBGTQ+ love-fest!

RY (our token straight chap) joins Liv (our “L” guest), Tim (our “G” guest), Lola (our “B” host), Lindz (our “T” guest), and Teddy (our “A” host) for lots of queer topics, memories, cheers, and laughs from all colors of the rainbow.

We had an absolute blast with our friends making this one, and we hope you have an absolute blast listening to it! So shake up your favorite gay cocktail, pour a tall one, turn on your favorite queer playlist as background music, and crank up the Pod… cause we’re having a gay ol’ time.

Yaaaay, an ep all about bisexuality!!

Do you like iced tea? Do you like lemonade? Well, put 'em together and you've got you an ARNOLD PALMER, one of the best drinks in the world.

Imagine loving a good Arnie Palmie in the Summer, and the tea people telling you you don't fit, and the lemonade telling you you're probably just in a tea phase.

On this episode of Love In Brief we do our first of two Pride month episodes to explore a vastly under-explored topic -- bisexuality!

That can be what being bisexual feels like -- you love all kinds of people, but people in the straight camp think you're gay and people in the gay camp think you're straight, and some real hosers just think you're confused.

On the other hand, boy does it have its upsides! Imagine finding people of multiple genders attractive, and seeing opportunities for love and lust all over! On this episode @lolaandthens0me and I talk to @untraditionalnormal and @NorthernLifeAB (FL) about what it's like being bisexual, how it integrates with their ABDL kink, and what makes loving all kinds of people wonderful.

Spring is turning the corner towards Summer, and creativity is in the air! This LIB is the next in our periodic Makers Series, where we highlight neat stuff the people in the ABDL community are making for the ABDL community.

In this episode RY talks with three creators:

- TinkerKinkers ([email protected]) about a new (and brilliant!) pressure-sensitive toy activator that can quickly turn little time into playtime, and vice-versa

- MisterSeaOtter ([email protected]) about a life coaching service particularly for people with an ABDL kink

- Mako (@mako on FL) about an overhaul of his shared discipline and power exchange app, WeMinder. (join the development updates on Reddit at r/weminderapp !)

Whether you’ve been at this ABDL thing for 3 months or 30 years, we all need support and opportunities for growth.

On this episode of LIB, Teddy and I talk with Merissa Cope; an author, counselor, and social worker who leads the ABDealing support group in Denver and +1’s Discord support group. This episode focuses on the ways you can find support with counselors, support groups, peers, and solo resources... as well as how you can start your own support group in your area.

Just listened to the spring roundup episode and had an idea pop into my head for a possible episode. What if you reach out to all/some of the guests that have been on and do like a where are they now or just anything new that is going on with them. Like maybe they finally went to that munch or CAP or finally told their partner. Just an idea I had while listening to the new episode. Thank you for all you do for this amazing lovely community!

For our 4th anniversary together, @lolaandthens0me and I decided on a “smash” theme, with bourbon fruit smashes, smash burgers with smashed potatoes, playing some Super Smash Bros, and concluding with a proper baby-style smash cake. And I expect later we just might smash… 😏

In today’s edition of *Trendy Hotel Things That Seem Hip But Actually Suck,* I give you:

1). Half-glass showers with no doors. This design ensures that not only do you get water all over your floor, but whatever half of you that is not facing the shower head is also constantly cold. Pick that half wisely.

2). Barn-style bathroom doors. Sure, they look cool, but they don’t really lock, and they have a gap you can fit your fist through all the way around the door, ensuring that your partner feels six inches away while you do your business.

3). Flush devices on the middle of the cap of the tank. If you are a courteous courtesy flusher, this means you cannot reach around while facing forward to apply said flush, and have to decide between skipping it (rude to your roommate) or standing up and turning around (unfathomable).

On this episode, RY and Teddy talk to @ComfortablyCrinkly (IG) and @Mrs.BabyPants (IG) about how they have expanded their own boundaries inside of ABDL and outside of it, how they have tried new things to see how they feel, even taken on new roles and dynamics they thought they might never take on. And, more importantly, how their lives have changed as a result.
